MYWISHBOOK · CHRISTMAS PLANNING
A few thoughtful wishes.
A wish is an idea, not a promise. Draw or write something you would enjoy in each box. Leave any box empty if it does not fit your family.
01 · Want
What would you enjoy making, playing or doing?
02 · Need
What useful thing would you welcome?
03 · Wear
What feels comfortable and like you?
04 · Read
What story, subject or format interests you?
Something we could enjoy together: ___________________________________
Keep names, addresses and private family details off shared copies. Grown-ups check suitability, existing gifts and total cost before buying. Essential needs should be met when needed, regardless of a holiday gift plan.

A completed planning example
Fictional allowances, not product recommendations, current prices or a spending target. This household chooses a $100 ceiling and leaves $20 for tax, delivery or other extras.
| Category | Idea | Allowance | Check before buying |
|---|---|---|---|
| Want | Building set | $35 | Age guidance, exact set, already owned? |
| Need | Replacement art supplies | $15 | Which supplies are actually running low? |
| Wear | Comfortable pajamas | $20 | Size, fabric preference, return terms |
| Read | Comic | $10 | Correct volume and preferred format |
| Reserve | Tax, delivery and extras | $20 | Recalculate before checkout |
